Simulator detail

Manage one simulator and locate the bundles and data folders for its installed apps.

Select a device from Simulators to see its agent, model, runtime, state, and UUID. The detail stays on that device when you switch the global active agent.

​

Manage the device

• Start, Shut Down, and Restart follow the current state of the simulator.
• Rename updates the device’s name.
• Shut down the simulator before duplicating or erasing it. Duplicate creates a separate device. Erase Contents and Settings clears the simulator’s apps and settings and keeps its UUID.
• Delete removes a shut-down simulator and its data. You can also delete an unavailable simulator that Xcode lists as stuck in Creating.

If the detail shows runtime profile not found, the selected Xcode cannot load that simulator’s runtime. The simulator may still appear in the inventory after the runtime becomes unavailable.

​

Inspect installed apps

The Installed apps list shows user-installed apps, including their bundle ID and version where available. You can inspect apps on a shut-down simulator. Use Launch and Stop while the simulator is running.

Use Reveal App Bundle to select the bundle in Finder or Open App Data Folder to open the app’s container. Finder opens on the Mac running the selected agent. The agent needs access to a graphical session. You can also copy the path when a container is available.
